Temperatures will stay quite warm
The Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann will draw to a close this weekend with Northern Ireland set for a mixed spell of weather.
Saturday is expected to start rather cloudy across much of the region, although there will be some hazy sunshine in the southeast during the morning.
It will remain dry for much of the day before some outbreaks of rain develop later. Temperatures will stay quite warm, with a maximum of 21 °C forecast.
That means those attending the penultimate day of Fleadh events could see a largely dry and warm afternoon, although rain is expected to become more of a factor as the day progresses.
The outlook becomes more unsettled on Sunday, with outbreaks of rain expected before conditions turn drier later in the day.
Monday and Tuesday are then expected to bring an improvement, with both days forecast to be dry and feature sunny spells. Temperatures are also expected to turn warmer.
Looking further ahead, the Met Office’s long-range forecast suggests a mixed start to the period between Wednesday, 12 August and Friday, 21 August
Rain or showers are expected in the north alongside some breezier conditions, while southern parts of the UK are forecast to remain mostly dry, sunny and hot, with temperatures potentially becoming very hot in some areas.
Southern areas are expected to turn cooler and fresher next weekend, before the weather becomes more changeable further into August.
The Met Office says areas of low pressure may begin to track further south and east, increasing the chance of frontal systems or thundery spells affecting southern and eastern parts of the UK.
However, rainfall amounts are expected to be variable, meaning some areas could continue to see relatively little rain.
Temperatures are forecast to remain above average overall, particularly in the south, where conditions could be very warm or hot at times.
